Why @Pento Should Be Unbanned from Looksmax.org
The user @Pento was banned from Looksmax.org, reportedly in part due to her gender. Regardless of the specific circumstances surrounding the ban, it is important to evaluate whether such a decision aligns with the stated principles and practical goals of the forum. This essay makes the case that @Pento should be unbanned, not based on emotion or personal appeal, but on logic, fairness, and consistency with the platform’s long-term interests.
First, there is no rule in the official site guidelines that states female users are prohibited from participating. Banning users on the basis of gender alone lacks any rational basis if no actual rule was broken. Even if informal community norms lean toward male-dominated discussions, the platform must enforce only what is codified and objective otherwise, moderation becomes arbitrary.
Second, the precedent of banning users for identity-based reasons opens the door to further inconsistencies. If one user is banned purely for being female, what stops moderators from banning others based on race, age, location, or appearance? This introduces unnecessary volatility and weakens the credibility of moderation practices. Long-term user trust depends on a moderation system that enforces clear, behavior-based standards.
Third, female users can contribute unique insights to discussions around aesthetics, dating dynamics, or social perception all of which are key topics on Looksmax.org. Even if some male users disagree with the presence of women on the forum, disagreement alone is not a valid reason to exclude someone. If anything, allowing contrarian or outside perspectives sharpens arguments and prevents the forum from becoming an echo chamber.
Lastly, @Pento’s activity was not disruptive in any documented way. If she violated specific rules, those violations should be cited directly. If not, then the ban appears to be personal or political, not procedural. That sets a poor example for moderation and undermines the site's integrity.
In conclusion, @Pento should be unbanned unless she broke a clear rule stated in the forum's terms. Her gender alone is not a valid basis for exclusion, and maintaining a consistent, fair standard is essential if Looksmax.org wants to grow and maintain legitimacy as a serious discussion platform. Arbitrary bans degrade the quality of the site more than any single user ever could.
